Post Mastectomy Treatment Blues

Less than one minute read time.

I should be feeling better now, but have a hit a wall. I think the physical and emotional effort to get through the treatment has left me exhausted. I suppose I'll find a way, but my nails/ eyebrows/eyelashes are falling out. I wasn't expecting this at this late stage. My red hair has been replaced by black stubble. My prosthesis keeps sliding over and peeps out of my bra. My eyes are itching and watering. My private parts are itching and sore and to top the lot I fell downstairs and broke my toe.

My sister says "but you're still alive". Yes I know , but I have no energy. Im told I'm doing well. Actually I want to scream "NO I'M NOT" I know its not unusual to feel flat after treatment finishes and I'm trying to get things in perspective. Writing it down has helped me. So thanks to anyone who has taken the time to read this. I'm wittering on about trivia having got through the worst and feel totally self absorbed. I'm not usually like this, but maybe some of you can relate to this.
